Rooted in America examines how foods express our cultural values and carry meanings that derive from the contexts in which we place them. It offers a tour of the apple in America, from Johnny Appleseed to mass production and tells stories such as how fruit companies taught North Americans to eat bananas while teaching Central Americans to grow them. It examines social status attached to eating corn, and reveals how hot peppers separate men from boys. The book explores ten familiar cultivars - apples, bananas, corn, cranberries, peppers, oranges, pumpkins, tobacco, tomatoes and watermelon.
